New Hampshire FTW

gay, marriage, same sex, traditional, homosexual, new hampshire
I thought same sex marriage was dead in the water (for now) in New Hampshire, but I was wrong.

The New Hampshire Senate has approved a bill that would allow same-sex marriage in the Granite State.

After surviving an early vote to kill HB 436, the bill passed the New Hampshire Senate Wednesday afternoon by a vote of 13 to 11.

The Senate version of the bill made minor amendments to remove gender-specific language, so it will now go back to the House for a vote.

Gov. John Lynch has said marriage is a word that should be reserved for the union of a man and a woman, but he has not said specifically that he would veto the bill.


Unexpected good news- the very best kind.

  2. Yes, it is good news, but, isn't it bizarre? California--of all places--goes thumbs down and everyone else goes the other way. Weird!

    Maybe Jesus IS coming after all!
